Trademark, Civil Litigation, Estate Planning, Divorce, and General Practice
I have decades of experience in trademark law, civil litigation (breach of contract, construction contract and unfair and deceptive business practice), estate planning, divorce, and general practice. Having spent most of my legal career at large corporate law firms, I offer big firm expertise at small firm rates to businesses, individuals and families throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and, for trademark matters, in all fifty states. Contact me to arrange a free consultation.
For individuals and small businesses, my areas of practice center on:
Trademark and Copyright: I have concentrated experience as a trademark attorney and have successfully obtained hundreds of trademark registrations for clients from the United States Patent & Trademark Office, defended and prosecuted claims for trademark infringement, successfully obtained copyright registrations from the U.S. Copyright Office and defended and prosecuted claims of copyright infringement.
Business Law: I provide businesses with a wide range of corporate legal services. I advise clients who need legal representation for incorporating their business, obtaining a trademark from the United States Patent & Trademark Office, setting up a nonprofit organization and obtaining 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, contract drafting and negotiations, drafting and reviewing leases and asset purchase and sale agreements and handling trademark matters.
Estate Planning: As an estate-planning attorney, I help married couples and individuals plan for orderly distribution of their estates through a last will and testament and the use of a revocable trust. Clients rely on me to provide personalized services in creating a customized estate plan. I listen to my clients' needs, concerns and objectives as we prepare wills, trusts and utilize other basic estate planning tools.
Civil Litigation: Drawing on fourdecades of experience as a litigation attorney for Mobil Oil, DLA Piper and Mirick, O'Connell, DeMallie & Lougee, I am able to provide clients with high-quality but cost-effective representation in a wide range of litigation matters, including trademark and copyright infringement, real estate disputes, unfair and deceptive trade practices (Massachusetts General Law Chapter 93A), and breach of contract cases. I also specialize in representing clients who need an attorney for an uncontested divorce, or modification of alimony and/or child support.
